“Rabajà” is a Barbaresco label proposed by an estate that has been enhancing the excellences of Langhe since the 1950s. The Bruno Rocca winery has maintained a handcrafted character and still today produces great wines with a classic and traditional face. The Rabaja cru is located south of the village of Barbaresco, in a particularly vocated area. The south-west facing exposure ensures excellent sunlight and outstanding ripening of the grapes, with a rich fruit offering very intense aromas. The vines sink their roots into soils composed of calcareous-clay marls with sandy veins. The grapes reach maturity in October and at the end of the manual harvest, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a maceration on the skins of two to three weeks. Aging occurs for 24 months in French oak barriques, followed by a bottle aging of 18 months.
The red Barbaresco “Rabajà” by Bruno Rocca is a label of excellent quality, offering an unforgettable tasting experience to all enthusiasts of the great wines of Langhe. In the glass, it presents a light ruby red with garnet reflections. Intense and rich, it expresses aromas of small berries, red currant, marasca, raspberry, hints of underbrush, delicate spices, floral nuances of violet and dried rose petals. The fruit, rich and ripe, is enveloped by a dense tannic structure well integrated into the wine. The sip, long and deep, unfolds towards a persistent, fresh, and pleasantly savory finish.
